> Improvement is a function of directed study of chess This is true of so many things. Improvement is proportional to the amount of deliberate, conscious practice, which is more uncomfortable than “game time”. When I used to play chess,

For a solo entrepreneur I would argue it’s more important to be fairly good at everything than e.g. really good at programming and having no understanding of other things like sales and marketing. Instead of perfecting your Haskell skills,

Haha same! Thought it was a CSS change or something.

Do you mean that every Apple device in the world acts as a proxy to forward Bluetooth requests from nearby (off) devices containing their location, automatically? E.g my laptop is pinging data to Apple about random nearby phones all the tim

Maybe I missed it in the article but how does it work with Bluetooth exactly — how does that help my find my phone over a long distance? What’s the Bluetooth connecting to and how does the phone get the request?

The chilling effect is made worse by the fact that this censorship is conducted entirely by algorithms, and there are no reasonable channels available for appeal other than knowing Google employees or hoping to gain viral traction on other

I think you misread the study. It’s claiming the opposite: > In a meta-analysis of 18 observational studies including our new cohort study, higher levels of 15:0 and 17:0 were associated with lower CVD risk.

I think people often forget how much time kids actually spend learning their mother tongue. They don’t go to a night class a few times a week, they spend hours each day for several years, both at home and then later at school, before becomi

Your comment is slightly out of date. The stated position of both the Australian PM and NSW state premier is that elimination is impossible, and vaccination/reopening is the goal. https://www.9news.com.au/national/

Not sure of the reason, but worth noting that a good chunk of people in the south of China pronounce it like the English “z”.

> The ability to play chess well is the sign of a wasted life Wasted in what sense? Aren’t we all playing made up games and solving artificial problems at the end of the day? Most GMs probably aren’t doing it to make money, they get a si

Can confirm this is 100% true. They are super smart and super destructive.

I love the simplicity and clean UI. Don’t add too many features! This is the problem with a lot of todo list type apps.

As you hinted at I think there are still cases where mass automated card creation is useful. I’ve had success doing this for Chinese characters - I ordered them by frequency and then made them into cards using the AnkiConnect API addon, the

I think the biggest problem copilot will have in practice gaining traction is that verifying correctness isn’t any faster than writing the code yourself in many cases. The Easter(y) function is a classic example - it would be way faster to

“Select all checks” was my favourite. Half the time when I’m shown crosswalks I know they aren’t crosswalks but also know that I’m expected to click them, maybe, sometimes. So infuriating.

Cool collection of articles. One thing I’d like is a link to the HN discussion, for the articles taken from here.
